Famous quotes containing the words rod and/or show:
“For the first fourteen years for a rod they do whine,
For the next as a pearl in the world they do shine,
For the next trim beauty beginneth to swerve,
For the next matrons or drudges they serve,
For the next doth crave a staff for a stay,
For the next a bier to fetch them away.”
—Thomas Tusser (c. 1520–1580)
“I want to show her one poem
which is the poem of my life. But I hesitate,
and wake.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
